We had a really bad snow, over 2ft sometime around 1998?  18-20 inches.

 People around here still talk about the blizzard of 77. We we living in Thorold at the time and it wasn't too bad there. Well, it wasn't bad for me because I was at home. We had about a foot of snow and some very high winds. My wife was teaching at a country school and got snowed in there and had to spend two nights at the home of one of her coworkers in town.

We had over 2 feet of snow January of 2010, some places more.  I remember being out of school for just shy of 2 weeks.
That's the worst here I remember in my lifetime, but I've talked to a few people who recount the great Thanksgiving snow of 1950.  My grandmothers were both hardly teenagers, but the whole tri-state area was under 3+ feet of snow.  Locally, people told me that a tank brought people supplies, because that's all that could get down the roads. People were fully snowed in for days.
